When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also. They
find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears. In marriage we
are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes.

If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the same
songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same roots. In the case of a
western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much more patience
and understanding from both spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great
deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very interesting. On the other
hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's excitements and
frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer,
or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your
parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house when you were a child. Unfortunately
you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is.
Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never even heard the song before. You feel rather
disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation with you. You do not know her country's
songs, her country's famous actors, her books. She has her own memories and in actuality, for her,
everything is much more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where
everybody can understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to
share her feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her
questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her. The Internet
will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to
the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with great impression. Let her understand you
better through the things that you like. Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.

marriage than those who have the same roots.
C. Spouses who have the same roots go not share anything together.
D. Spouses who are from different cultures can never share anything together.

American Online is one of the big names on the Internet, and unlikely many other digital companies, it
actually makes a profit. But the company which its rivals call the “Cyber- cockroach” was launched only
in 1992. Before that it was a small firm called control Video Corporation, and it made video games. Then
Steve Case, a former Pizza Hut marketing executive arrived and took the company online, innovative, fast
moving, and user- friendly, American Online appeals to people who want to surf the Internet, but who do
not have a lot of experience. For the same reason “ teachies”, people who think the are more expert with
computers, look down on American Online and its users. Recently, American Online (or AOL, as it calls
itself ) joined with Time Warner- a multi- million- dollar movie and magazine company- to create a
multimedia giant.

hard to buy a computer magazine that does not have a free AOL introductory offer. The company also puts

train stations. As the Internet gets faster AOL is changing. With many homes getting high- speech
connections through fiber optic cables or the new ADSL technology, the “Cyber- cockroach” will have to
show that, like real cockroaches, it can survive in almost any environment.
